Jiang He pondered for two seconds, then gave a slight nod.
"Yes."
"Chun Tao, go get those tonics and return them to Second Brother."
Jiang Yourning spoke almost without thinking.
As she spoke, she took the IOU Jiang He handed her. After just two seconds of hesitation, she simply closed her eyes, tore it into little pieces, and tossed them into the air.

Besides, the Princess told me yesterday that she stole them from His Majesty. They're so valuable that if we don't return them, His Majesty will resent the Jiang Family. Better to give them back."
Damn it, you flashy peacock. Your pockets are cleaner than my face right now, yet you still insist on giving me an IOU for fifty thousand taels of gold.

"Why are you suddenly getting so sentimental? Second Brother, you're not plotting something, are you?"
Feeling her hairstyle being ruined, Jiang Yourning had wanted to slam him with a punch, but the sight of his reddened eyes instantly gave her goosebumps.
*Seriously, aren't these just a few tonics? Every time you go
